What if you meditate or go to sleep or otherwise relax it enough to take it out? That should work if the only thing keeping it in is the involuntary stress/fear response of muscle tension.

Go to sleep? With a lightbulb in your mouth??

I mean, I've fallen asleep at the dentist's before. That's the same right?

To be clear, it was momentary lapses in consciousness during routine cleanings, not due to anesthesia.
